Astros’ Stassi feeling fatigue effects days after concussion

Rookie catcher Max Stassi, who suffered a concussion when he was hit by a pitch on Wednesday, is dealing with extreme fatigue.

“Once I start moving around I just go through like extreme fatigue,” Stassi said. “I always just feel tired. That’s the main thing. It’s kind of subsiding, but just emotions like feeling just irritated a little bit for no reason. The brain’s a serious deal, so you just got to let it relax.”

Stassi’s dad Jim was at attendance Wednesday night at Rangers Ballpark when he was hit by a pitch, but his mom Racquelle was back in their hometown of Yuba City, California. She flew to Houston, making it all better for everybody, Max Stassi said.

“It’s just really sore now,” Stassi said of his nose, which he initially thought was broken. “I got a headache right now too.”
